(A) \((KE)_a = 1 \text{ eV}\)
(B) \((KE)_b = 0.01 \text{ eV}\)
(C) \((KE)_c = 4 \text{ eV}\)
(D) \((KE)_d = 16 \text{ eV}\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B), (C), (D)
  2. B (B), (A), (C), (D)
  3. C (B), (A), (D), (C)
  4. D (C), (B), (D), (A)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (B), (A), (C), (D)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{KE}} \) \( (KE)_b = 0.01 \text{ eV} \) \( (KE)_a = 1 \text{ eV} \) \( (KE)_c = 4 \text{ eV} \) \( (KE)_d = 16 \text{ eV} \) Decreasing \(\lambda\): (B), (A), (C), (D)
